Yee and no. The wood was a die for the mold to be made from. The mold shown is what the structure will be made from (assuming poured in and left to harden). The wood is going to be the same size (roughly) as the finished product.

And Poof I came off!
I wish it was that simple if I did a video it would have a ton of bleeps in it.
As you can see in the pics the resin stuck to the plug on the to edge of sleeper. At least it poped right off the mold with a couple taps.

Next step is to lay up the actual body I will make it about 1/4" thick. Once that's done I can start building the frame and start thinking about the scale of parts.

Looks great, I've done some fiberglass boat models this way and I know it's a pain to get everything to come out well. You make it look easy, congrats on another good step! Eager to see this lathe that you keep talking about
